by connecting your interests with joint

you had retained control of your cattle

The Iron Workers.

Pitsburg. May 26.-An important
but very quiet melting OF the Western
Iron Association was held yesterday
afternoon. Notices of the gathering
were issued by President A. f. Keat-
ing several days ago, and every impor-
tant mill embraced in the organiza-
ization was represented. The object
OF their meeting was to discuss a COM
mittee to confer with similar body
from the Amalgamated Association.
1t was difficult to obtain information
to the deliberation of the iron masters,
but it was definitely learned that the
scale will not be as quickly arranged
as last year. A discussion on trade
showed that unusually heavy impor-
tations of foreign material have Grip
pied the industries in this country
1t was argued that if affairs continue
as during the past few weeks it will be
impossible to pay the present scale oi
wages
The Amalgamated Association, as
already stated, will demand the scale
OF 1884, which is practically an in
crease of ten per cent. No conference
committee was appointed, the matter
being left to members in different dis
tricts.

Notes From the Business Assoc
citation.

A good many members were absent
from the adjourned meeting held on
Saturday evening,
After attending to some miscella-
noous business the feasibility of or
ganizing"A Building and Loan Asso-
ication" was discussed.
The virdict was unanimous that
Johnson City has now reached that
stage in her progress where such an
organization is greatly needed. More
homes are needed for our people.
The laboring man, by saving his week
ly savings and by securing the credit
which such an organization affords
him may soon build home and thus
save the rent which eats up all his
earnings. This word "home" is not
only one of the grandest words in our
language for which the French Ian
guage has no equivalent but the word
is the sign of of an idea about which
fingers the fondest associations of life.
If every American citizen has home
our country would be safe from inva-
sion from without and also from the
more to be dreaded dissensions from
within.
1t was decided to organize Build
ing and Loan Association at our next
meeting next Friday night All inter.
ested are invited to come in and par.
